Sex and Breed Questions

[duzer]

Hello,

I would like to please ask for some help confirming the gender of some chicks we have been raising.

They are all about six weeks old and were hatched from eggs of unknown lineage. We are guessing many are mixed breeds, but would love some hints as to what they may be as well. They all came from large brown eggs.

We are new to this and suspect that many if not all of the photos we have posted below are roosters. Can you please help me better understand any features that can lead to a possible gender confirmation.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to backyard chickens!

Based on comb size, I'd say that you are correct... All cockerels.

Thank you!!!

@XcanjadiToino - I know the picture is not great between A and B, but I am curious as to what makes you think B may be a pullet? What is the key factor when looking at the comb? Shape? Size?

For me is comb's size and color and also chick wing and tail size and color. (this rule have some exceptions for some breeds also)
